In Defense Of the Fruit Fly

TW: I have really been trying to limit the Fembot posts under a stop beating a dead bot theory. But Christopher Hitchens is so eloquent in his depiction of the Fembot I felt like it deserved one more slug (btw he twisted off after hearing her sneer about fruit fly research, will let those interested drill into the article).

From Hitch:
"[Nominating Palin] is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just "people of faith" but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity."

Speaking of religious fanatics with anti-scientific views...

Did you know that the US government invented the AIDS virus to kill black people? I was surprised to find out too.
